Baltzersen's is to close its Harrogate coffee shop and sublet the premises due to a decline in visitors.

The Scandinavian-inspired coffee shop is situated next to the company's main cafe, which remains open, on Oxford Street.

In a social media post, Baltzersen's said many people will have noticed the coffee shop has been empty for a while. It added:

"We have struggled to open it for any prolonged length of time since the covid pandemic. It simply hasn’t been busy enough, especially during the week.
"Whilst the cafe still has queues at the busiest times, the truth is visitor numbers are down overall and have been since reopening after lockdown.
"In the current climate we think the best choice is to try and sublet the premises - offering the space for someone else to use in order to help with paying the rent."

The coffee shop opened in November 2018, and the company said in its post "we are extremely sad to see it go", adding:

"It is a struggle for so many people and businesses at the moment and that includes Baltzersen’s. We’ve said it before, but we really do appreciate all those that can visit the cafe, whether on a regular basis or as a one off."


Montpellier Properties is to market the property.

The post prompted supportive comments, with one person saying they made detours to Harrogate on their trips from near Cambridge specifically to go to Baltzersen's. Another said they make the best cinnamon buns.
